The  killing  of  George  Floyd  and  the  state-sanctioned  violence  by  official  and  non-official  law  enforcement  that  followed  were  not  unique  instances,  nor  were  they  random.  These  acts  were  predictable  responses  given  the  history  of  the  Criminal  Justice  system  in  America.&nbsp;</div>
